You'll need this tool
http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=14727

At that price!! your better of getting a shop to do it. Cyclopedia in Cardiff did mine.I took the cassette and freehub off and supplied my own bearings.They charged me £8 to remove the old bearings and fit the new ones.

So if you're in Cardiff you've got a choice of two shops as we had to buy the tool to service a bike we sold, well worth buying as we've used it twice now in 10yrs:)

I've got one - it used to be a fair bit cheaper than that - I'm down on the Manchester side of the Peak District. Whereabouts in Yorkshire are you?

It's not like it's even a really beautiful tool. I mean it's not like a Shimano wooden-handled chain tool or the Campag 11-speed one, it's basically just a splined thing like. God only knows why it's so ridiculously overpriced. Good hubs though.
